4. LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
For proper product installation, circular holes have to be made in selected places and the
appropriate wiring has to be prepared for each unit.
Here are the steps to follow for proper installation:
1. Make the mounting hole in the false ceiling, after marking its outline with the supplied
cutting template
2. Insert the speaker's frame into the hole, taking care that the 3 revolving fasteners remain
in the retracted position, and letting the end of the speaker connecting cable pass
through the frame
3. Tighten each of the 3 screws accessible from the front of the unit. The revolving
fasteners rotate and at the end of the tightening, the frame is fixed at its final position
4. Peel and connect the two wires at the end of the speaker cable to the looped terminals,
respecting the relative polarity between the speaker, the rest of the installation's
speakers and the amplifier that powers them. If using a 70/100V line transformer, select
the desired power position by turning the dial located on top.
5. If using the rear metal cover, assemble and screw it on.
NOTE: In most cases, the electro-acoustical response of a ceiling/wall speaker like the
ICPLUS will be better if it is installed in a false ceiling or on a wall made of low-porosity
materials and without the rear cover. The response in the low frequency range will be
especially affected, since these types of ceilings act as baffles” or mechanical
loudspeaker enclosures. Generally speaking, try not to install the rear cover if it is not
necessary, if the installation surface is non-porous (e.g. without holes) and you want to
obtain the best possible acoustic response from the ICPLUS series.
6. Insert the speaker into the frame and rotate it clockwise on its vertical axis, until the
locking mechanism is activated. Then try to rotate it in the opposite direction to confirm it
is correctly locked (*)
7. Start the sound system to test the speaker and, if necessary, adjust the treble transducer
(tweeter) to the desired position
8. Finally, install the grill on the speaker frame and turn it slightly so that the revolving
fasteners of the frame and the grille are fitted together. During assembly, hold the grate
by the edges (not the perforated, centre part) to avoid damaging it.
(*) If you want to remove the speaker from the frame once installed, turn the locking pin
gently and then move the speaker in a counter-clockwise direction to remove it.
5. PAINT
ICPLUS series is ready to be painted and thus can match any cosmetic criteria of the
environment in which it is installed.
Once the installation is complete, the front grill is the only visible part of the unit, simply
paint it to get the desired result. Paint it without the white cloth back installed and do so carefully to
avoid excess paint that may block up the small holes of the central area.
If for some reason you want to also paint the frame of the speaker (for example, in case of
an installation without front grilles), always do it with the speaker removed and protect the revolving
fasteners area of the frame in which the speaker will then fit, so the paint does not impede the
subsequent installation of the speaker in the frame.
